| - I had my first experience at Manzetti's last night...and I loved it. The atmosphere was casual, but not overly casual. The music was playing low, but it was pop music, creating a fun atmosphere. The decor was simple, yet elegant, with dark wood features.
We ordered cheap ($5-$6) glasses of wine (yes, they have them!) and they were delicious. Having read good reviews about their chip appetizers, I decided that we had to try one. We went with the spinach and cheese atop tortilla chips and it was a delicious way to start the dinner.
I followed up the app with the Spicy Shrimp Stuffed Baguette. The presentation was very interesting. A baguette was hollowed out and stuffed with shrimp in a brown sauce. Eating it was easy because nothing fell out. Biting into it was out of this world. It had an explosion of cajun flavor that I wasn't expecting. And, loving spicy food, the hotness factor was just right for me (although a bit too spicy for my partner). The accompanying fries were plentiful, yummy, fairly thick, and fresh out of the fryer (ouch!).
Manzetti's is a great place to go for a night out or to bring out-of-town guests to impress them. The American menu has enough to please those with a variety of tastes.
p.s. The service was awesome, too, and the manager even stopped by to see if everything was okay.
